Re: Can an OPNQRYF be run inside an RPG program?

Use OVRDBF with OVRSCOPE(*JOB) and 
>> SHARE(*YES) and it should work.


Why OVRSCOPE(*JOB)?!?!
I believe there may be some confusion between OVRDBF OVRSCOPE and OPNQRYF OPNSCOPE. Not that either has anything to do with running OPNQRYF via QCMDEXC from RPG. The following snippet retrieves only the records included in the qryslt (showing that the share and open are working as desired): 

d opnqry          s            256
d cmdlen          s             15p 5

c                   eval      opnqry = 'opnqryf master +
c                               qryslt(''PNPA *NE 1'') +
c                               keyfld(pnpa pexc pnum psuf) +
c                               opnscope(*actgrpdfn)'
c                   eval      cmdlen = %size(opnqry)
c                   call      'QCMDEXC'
c                   parm                    opnqry
c                   parm                    cmdlen

c                   eval      opnqry = 'ovrdbf master share(*yes)'
c                   call      'QCMDEXC'
c                   parm                    opnqry
c                   parm                    cmdlen

c                   open      master
Bottom line is that from the same call level, one doesn't need to use OVRDBF OVRSCOPE(*JOB). Nor does one need to use OPNQRYF OPNSCOPE(*JOB). The default values, *ACTGRPDFN do what one expects.
